Description
Tumors of advanced gastric cancer patients were biopsied and subjected to gene expression profiling using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Patients were then segregated into G1, G2 or G3 groups based on their tumor genomic profiles. Patients in the G1 and G3 cohorts were assigned SOX (oxaliplatin plus S-1) chemotherapy whereas those in the G2 cohort were given SP (cisplatin plus S-1) regimen.
